[Postoperative complications in abdominal surgery--what do they cost?].

In this study of 154 patients with major abdominal cancer surgery, 41 postoperative complications occurred and caused additional total costs of DM 205.993,-, DM 5.024,- per case, respectively, where the special personnel costs were not accounted for. There was a significant difference between single and multiple complications as well as for early and late complication costs. Economic analyses are necessary to determine budgets of medical departments with extended and cost-intensive treatment, such as cancer surgery, to maintain optimal care for the patients.

[Long-term prognosis of the critically ill intensive care patient].

The survival rates of 380 critically ill intensive care patients (> 10 days intensive care, > 3 days mechanical ventilatory support) after gastrointestinal surgery were examined over 1 year following hospital discharge in a retrospective analysis of the years 1984-1994. Of the patients 57% survived intensive care medicine, 54% were discharged from hospital and 44% were still alive 1 year after discharge. Little difference was found between subgroups of gastrointestinal pathology. Of the survivors 28% had psychological problems in the first 6-12 months, 7% showed functional disorders and 3% showed prolonged periods of pain due to intensive therapy.
